What if we've misunderstood the conflict from the very beginning?
In this episode of The Western Spirit, Ariel Whitman sits down with former Israeli Member of Knesset Einat Wilf to discuss Hamas, anti-Zionism, October 7, Gaza, UNRWA, antisemitism, the global campaign against Israel, and why she argues that anti-Zionism has become the driving ideology behind a worldwide assault on Jewish life.
They discuss whether Hamas is the cause or merely a symptom, the future of Gaza, the role of UNRWA, the Democratic Party, antisemitism on Western campuses, Israel's information war, Iran, Lebanon, and why Wilf believes Israel must fundamentally change how it understands and communicates this conflict.

Einat Wilf's new book, Peace Not Now, explores how decades of strategic mistakes led to October 7 and argues for a new approach to Israel's future.

Dr. Einat Wilf is a proud and powerful Zionist who has served her nation of Israel in many capacities. A former member of the Israeli Knesset Parliament, her new Oz Party represents her entry back into Israeli politics with a cohesive plan to restore the Jewish State and the hopes of a Two-State Solution. Her profound understanding of Palestinianism and her love of Zionism combine into a platform that is neither Right-wing nor Left-wing, and even defies the Center. Much will have to change for her wish for Israel to come true, but if anyone can do it, Einat Wilf can.

Drawing on decades of scholarship and public service, Wilf challenges many of the assumptions that have shaped Israeli politics and peace efforts. She explains why the conflict cannot be resolved through ambiguity or process alone, why ideology — not borders — has been the central obstacle to peace, and why international frameworks have repeatedly failed to reckon with Jewish self-determination. From critiques of institutions like UNRWA to hard questions about national service, governance, and borders, Wilf calls for a renewed Israeli social contract rooted in responsibility, realism, and permanence.

For the first time in many decades, the debate between Zionism and anti-Zionism seems to be at the center of public discourse throughout America and the West. But what are the fundamental beliefs, assumptions, and narratives behind these two opposing ideas?

A new vision for Israel - an in depth discussion with Aviva Klompas at Boundless Insights on Oz Party, its key tenets, and the future Oz envisions for Israel

Join Dr. Einat Wilf in a profound discussion on the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In this powerful talk, she delves into the decades-long development of two key aspects: the sustaining of the Palestinian vision and the global mental preparation that led to the events of October 7th, 2023.

In this episode of The Brink, Andrew and Jake are joined by Israeli author and former Knesset member Einat Wilf for a wide-ranging conversation on the future of Israel, the ideology driving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the country's political future after Benjamin Netanyahu.

Wilf argues that the conflict has never fundamentally been about settlements, borders, or occupation, but about the refusal to accept the existence of a sovereign Jewish state. She explains why the events of October 7th reinforced this belief, examines the role of UNRWA and the so-called "right of return", and discusses whether genuine peace is possible without a fundamental shift in Palestinian political culture.

Dr. Einat Wilf sometimes sounds like the right, and sometimes like the left. Which is, perhaps, the point of the new political party she founded. It’s named courage (Oz, in Hebrew). We asked her what the party’s agenda would be.
We also discussed the suggested changes to the Gaza deal - which we agreed will not come to pass. Gadi’s long interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clearly confirmed this view.

She believed in peace, coexistence and the two-state solution. She was deeply on the left, a member of the Labor Party and came a long way with Ehud Barak - but in the last two years Dr. Einat Wilf has sobered up: she underwent an ideological transformation and abandoned the peace camp. After founding a party, she comes to a meeting of extremes, and tells about the change she went through, the price she paid, the claims that she was a planted agent of the right to burn votes of the left - and what really happened between Ehud Barak and Netanyahu.

Dr. Wilf discusses the psychological implications of anti-Zionism on Jews in the Diaspora today, from campus, to political organizations, and beyond, and the differences between right-wing and left-wing antisemitism. Then, Blake Flayton and Dr. Wilf discuss Blake's personal experience with anti-Zionism in college, and how it affected him and how it affects many young Jewish people today.

The true enemy in Israel’s current war, Einat Wilf says, is what she calls “Palestinianism.” Once part of the Israeli left, Einat Wilf is a popular political thinker on Israel, Zionism, and foreign policy. Her 2020 co-authored book, “The War of Return,” outlines what she believes lies at the core of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict: the Palestinian people’s “Right of Return” is what makes this conflict unresolvable.

Dave Rubin interviews Einat Wilf on the collapse of the Israeli left's two-state belief after Camp David and the Second Intifada; the history of Zionism and why Palestinians repeatedly rejected statehood proposals; how Hamas, October 7th, and the global anti-Israel movement aim to eliminate the Jewish state; and the future of peace in the Middle East.

In this one-one interview Dr. Einat Wilf discusses with Maayan Hoffman the tenets of Oz Party and how they address the challenges to Israel and the Jewish people.

Épisode 15 — et un nouveau format : à l'approche des élections du 27 octobre, nous recevons les personnalités politiques israéliennes francophones pour qu'elles présentent elles-mêmes leur parti et leur vision.

Première invitée : Einat Wilf, ancienne députée, titulaire d’un doctorat en sciences politiques (Cambridge), autrice de "La guerre du retour" (Hermann) et de "La paix, pas maintenant " (Sela Meïr)— le livre-manifeste de son nouveau parti, Oz.

Sa thèse : depuis la guerre des Six Jours, Israël vit sur la dette — celle des infrastructures et du capital humain bâtis par les fondateurs, et celle, bien plus lourde, d'avoir acheté une fausse tranquillité à ses ennemis. Le 7 octobre a été le début du remboursement.

During a speech on Friday in New York, President Donald Trump said the Strait of Hormuz had been declared a US territory with the White House responding to say it was clearly a joke.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister responded to the remarks on X, saying "Trump has said that after Iran's defeat, he will soon declare the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. territory! The Strait of Hormuz cannot be seized by tweet, nor by aircraft carrier, nor by issuing an order, nor by an election speech. Iran neither fears threats nor cowers before displays of power."

Premier épisode d'un nouveau format : à l'approche des élections du 27 octobre, Einat Wilf présente Oz, son nouveau parti, et sa vision d'Israël après le 7 octobre — souveraineté, sionisme arabe et musulman, et rapports avec l'Europe et les États-Unis.

Dr. Einat Wilf explains the essence of UNRWA at a briefing to UN delegations at the UN HQ in NYC hosted by Israel’s Ambassador to the UN. This briefing provides a summary of UNRWA’s history and how it became the ideological backbone of the Palestinian vision of violent “return” as manifested on October 7th, and how UNRWA has given birth to every terrorist organization from Black September to Hamas.

Can Palestinian society be deradicalized? What might that even mean? Is the problem a religious one? A political one? Can Israel play a part, and how would that look? In this episode of Ask Haviv Anything we turned to Dr. Einat Wilf, a leading thinker and writer on Israel, on the conflict, on the history of the two peoples, and on Israel's foreign and education policies.
